Picked up guitar again after a long time and am trying to find people to play with. Any recommendations on where to find community jams/ places to play with folks?

There's some facebook groups like the Boston Musicians Network that have people looking to jam.

dope, I've been meaning to check that place out for a while so this is a great excuse to go! As someone on the lower end of the talent spectrum, I'm excited to pick up some tips haha

Lilly P's does open bluegrass jams on Tuesday nights. There's usually a decent turnout and a wide range of skill levels.

Tuesdays at the Cantab is Bluegrass night. Usually downstairs during and after a bunch of people jam with mostly guitars and fiddles.
Also if you're into traditional Irish music the Burren is one of my favorite places. They have music every night and there's always something cool going on in the front room.

I'm really open to playing anything, but trying to lean more funk/ rock (think vulfpeck/ zeppelin direction)

The Tuesday bluegrass jams are actually at Lilly P's now, not Cantab! I've been meaning to go.

Pianist here - I’ve found the Lilypad’s open mic nights on Wednesday nights to be a good spot to meet other artists. Fair warning, though: There is a lot of variety and a wide spectrum where the talent falls.
